House in Ranzo by Wespi de Meuron.

Overlooking Lake Maggiore, this minimalist single family residence designed by Wespi de Meuron is situated in Ranzo, Switzerland. Description by Wespi de Meuron The project works with references to the historical architectural culture of the place and interprets them anew. The traditional natural grey plaster of the façade associated with the simple cube of the modern house detracts itself from a precise temporal assignment. This house is closely linked to the historical paths from the lake to the village. The terrace with a mountainside courtyard wall, a long bench and natural stone paving has Mediterranean character.
